Grargh, I tried - for half an hour, to upload chapter 3 and as the site does not want it, I am now writing chapter 4 in cheer desperation. So be happy with chapter 4 as well as chapter 3. If I am able to upload them later.

Who wants to have a D/N story ? Please hands up(or better give a review) this is a point, where things can change. It may be a D/N story, but it may as well be a Susan /Numair Story, or just a Angua/ Carrot story. Or should I make a Onua/Numair story out of it later on.

Please do not hate me for it, anyway.

Susan paced in the cabin. Carrot and Angua were asleep. Carrot wasn´t the kind of men who would panic anyway. And he convinced Angua to sleep as well. Susan was furious. How dared anyone to speak to her in that way, using spells to test her, not trusting her to speak the truth. She tried to walk through the wood of the door, but it didn´t work and all she earned by it were bruises. She sat down and stared at Angua and Carrot. How could they be as calm, letting these foreign people tread them the way they did. She would not let them, they shouldn´t dare to act such manners again. ~ I am Susan Sto Helit, Granddaughter of Death, and they shouldn´t act to me the way they do.~ After some minutes, she recognized some fog in the cabin and got sleepy. Shortly after it she was asleep.

In Daines cabin a discussion took place. Alanna came back from escorting the strangers to their cabin. "They are all in the cabin, I left a spell, so that this Susan shouldn´t walk through the walls. And I also left a sleeping spell, just in case." She reported. Daine yawned. "I liked Angua and Carrot, but Miss Susan, she is like one of the Nobles in Galla, or even in Carthak." The thought of the events in Carthak made her pale. Numair caressed her cheek. "Yes, you are right Magelet. Susan is dangerous. I think Carrot is as honest as he seemed to be- and looked like. But Angua could be a problem, too. I do not know anything about werewolves. Is she able to change shape whenever she wants? Is she stronger than a normal wolf? She is far more intelligent as an normal wolf, that's clear, but if she is as strong, or strong, or stronger as wolves she would be dangerous, too. Magelet, can you get into her thoughts? Can you control her as you can do it with animals?"

Alanna screamt "Stop", but it was too late. Daine collapsed and Numair caught her before she hit the ground.

"Stupid Mage" Alanna scolded Numair, "I put them under a sleeping spell. You shouldn´t have let her test it now, as Angua is unconscious."

Numair felt miserable, knowing it was his fault. Alanna asked him to put Daine in her bed, and to leave her, so that she could rest to get over the spell. Numair Gently put Daine down, get her shoes off, and put the blanket over her. Kissing her on the forehead, he left the room.

Alanna grinned Numair really liked his student. She knew it, since he slapped the Emperor just for Daines sake. Alanna was perfectly aware that he showed his sore point to the Emperor, by telling him his likening for Daine. And she was right. But Daine who was kidnapped by the Emperor was told that Numair was executed by him and got furious. With the help of a godess she ruined the whole palace and nearly killed Ozorne, the Emperor. Oh yes, Daine had a liking for Numair as well. There was just one problem, Daine was much too young for Numair, and she was his student.

Numair sighed, he would have liked to stay with Daine. The strangers had disturbed a really really pleasant moment. He liked to touch Daine, but he knew, what the others would say, she was far too young AND his student. He shouldn´t fall for her.

But now, he remembered one of the strangers. Susan was cute, not so lovely as Daine, but cute and she had a brain. She was outspoken, dared to be unkind to nobles and was older. The age he liked. He got lost in his thoughts, he had a crush for Daine, but he liked the strange Susan, too.

------- Soo, now I would like to have your opinions about it! Who should like whom?

Will this be a D/N A/N A/C C/D C/S or a H/S story ( Daine /N
